I'll try one last time.
1. NO SHIRT HAS BEEN SHIPPED BEFORE MID OCTOBER FOR THE SIMPLE REASON
THAT THE SHIRTS HAD NOT ARRIVED.
2. THE SHIRTS WERE NOT SHIPPED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE REQUESTED. THUS,
THE DATE AT WHICH YOU ORDERED YOUR SHIRT IS IRRELEVANT.
In other words,
YOUR SHIRT MAY HAVE BEEN SHIPPED AS LATE AS OCT 23 EVEN IF YOU WERE THE
VERY FIRST PERSON TO FILL IN THE FORM.
Actually, the shirts boxed on Oct 23 probably didn't make it until Oct 24
due to people working overtime. So, it's only been 5 days since the last
shirts were mailed. The shirts were shipped by USPS from Landover, MD. If
you live close enough to Landover that a delay of 5 days for a parcel
shipped via USPS is impossible, please complain again (NOT ON THE LIST!)
and we will send you a new shirt. If it is common for USPS to need more
than 5 days to deliver from MD to your place of residence, please wait
until you are sure that USPS can't possibly have your shirt. We used USPS
because we figured that the money we would save on postage fees would be
a lot more than the cost of resending a handful of lost (or at least
untrackable) shirts. We felt that buying more shirts so we could give
them to more people was a better use of our T-shirt budget than
vaporizing the money on a high-profile carrier. A shirt is pretty much
indestructible (and too cheap to warrant being insured), so there was no
real advantage to the more expensive carriers.
